Vimcryption is an extensible cross-platform Python based plugin to do encryption in Vim. Inspired by previous Vim Encryption efforts (http:https://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Encryption), that lack up-to-date algorithms, or portability, this plugin is designed to give users the flexibility to survive the cryptographic arms race.

If using Vundle to install, add the following to your .vimrc:

Plugin `Vipyr/vimcryption`

If you're using Pathogen :

git clone https://github.com/Vipyr/vimcryption.git ~/.vim/bundle/vimcryption

You can configure Vimcryption defaults in your .vimrc:

" Default Cipher to Use When Encrypting
let g:vimcryption_cipher_type = "AES128"

" You can disable automatic loading of Vimcryption and only load on demand
let g:vimcryption_start_onload = 0

To enable Vimcryption with a specific cipher and write the encrypted file:

:Vimcrypt AES128
:write

To enable Vimcryption with your default cipher:

:Vimcrypt

To disable Vimcryption and unload the plugin:

:NoVimcrypt

To contribute to Vimcryption, fork from https://github.com/Vipyr/vimcryption and clone to your local computer. Unit tests require a Python3 and Python2 installation with nose2. To run unit tests:

cd vimcryption
./run_tests.sh
